Arctic Monkeys Sideshow Announced

It’s been an arduous wait, but finally we have confirmation: the Sheffield boys who continue to rock our worlds two albums on, Arctic Monkeys, will be playing a side show to sit alongside their Big Day Out headline slot. The cheeky, inimitable Alex Turner and his intrepid band will be hitting the Enmore Theatre on Thursday 22 January, and will surely only further cement their status as one of the best live bands around. Tickets go on-sale at Ticketek on Monday 1 December; we don’t think we really need to warn you that they’ll sell out fast, but what the heck: they’ll sell out fast, thus dilly-dallying is liable to result in you looking like a ticket-less chimp.
